I was very nervous about joining but was put at ease straight away.
My biggest fear was using the gym with all those fit people watching me... a programme was worked out for me and i was shown how to use each piece of equipment...I'm not saying I wasn't nervous the first time I went on my own but I was definitely more confident

The center is doing a great job for being accessible for everyone!
Few things to note:
- The user experience on the mobile and web application is terrible! It hard to use the application and there is a lot of inconsistencies in how the web application was developed! How can an application let someone have two accounts with the same email address?
- In term of cleanliness, the facilities are not cleaned regularly! Sometimes pee is left in changing room! Most of the time there is a sweat smell left in the gyms!

Good Morning Espoir,
Thank you for your review.
We are very sorry to hear of your experience when using the website or the App. Our system allows customers to sign up using the same email details so they can receive all email comfirmations via the same email address. You would then use the email details to log into the main account holders profile and you can use the membership numbers to login for the other accounts associated to the same email details.
In regards to the cleanliness of the facilities, I am very sorry to hear that these are not up to standard. I will pass on your feedback and comments for the attention of the centre manager so they can look into this and resolve.
Hope this helps.
Charmaine

I recently joined the junior gym and I’m highly impressed with the amount of stuff I’m aloud to do .
My induction was good as I was shown what to do how to use the stuff etc.
There’s safety rules on the machines to make sure there are no injuries and if there are they have a first aid kit ready.
